WHEN DAISY MILLER came out last Summer, there was some question whether Cybill Shepherd had magnificently captured the dull vapid chattering character of Daisy, of whether she was just a bad actress. Peter Bogdanovich has evidently decided to set the record straight for in his new movie At Long Last Love, he gives ample evidence that Shepherd is a very bad actress in deed...
This isn't to say that Shepherd ruins At Long Last Love. The movie would be quite bad enough without her But her clodhopper dancing and mynah bird singing contribute substantially to the downfall of the film. Her co-star, Burt Reynolds, is just as bad--he whispers rather than sings and his dancing is so inept that Bogdanovich has cropped his body at the knee most of the time. The rest of the cast--Bogdanovich standbys like Madeline Kahn and Mildred Natwick--do better, and Eileen Brennan is even good. It's a pity she didn...
...Last Love has been universally panned, and the theaters it shows at are generally empty, the suckers sitting in the audience can lessen the pain somewhat by singing along with "You're the Top."

"I think we bombed in there," fretted Burt Reynolds after 500 guests of 20th Century-Fox had left a pre-supper screening of the musical in which he stars with Bogdanovich's live-in true love, Cybill Shepherd. The Hollywood elite, including Liza Minnelli, Gene Hackman, Gregory Peck, Roy Rogers, Merle Oberon and Valerie Perrine, adjourned for veal and ambrosiana amid the opulent sets used in the film. Shepherd, perhaps sensing the dour mood of the crowd, made good her getaway. "I've got another party...
...Katmandu courtyard echoing with these priestly chants, TIME's New Delhi correspondent, James Shepherd, last week witnessed the coronation of Nepal's King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Deva (see THE WORLD). Shepherd first encountered the elaborate ceremonies of the Hindu kingdom in 1956 at the coronation of Birendra's father, Mahendra. The correspondent arrived for that occasion aboard a rickety DC-3 that "slithered low over the Himalayan foothills, searching for the gap in the mountains through which we slipped into the Katmandu Valley." He has since reported on coronations of two other Himalayan monarchs, the Kings...
